Est-ce que ça existe, des études sur le pipeline France-Québec de l'extrême-droitisation ? Et est-ce que la France exporte ses dog whistle ailleurs qu'au Québec, ou on est les seul·es à subir ça ?

I like to think moon gazing is a joy we share almost undiluted with our ancestors who must have so appreciated the light of the moon to visit friends and special hidden places at night. Our beautiful, beautiful moon.

Perhaps being an Alberta born+raised lefty, the thing I had to learn at a young age is: you have to fight like hell to build a community that actually cares for everyone no matter who is in power because electoral politics was always designed for the ruling elite. It‘s a luxury to give up.

Margaret Atwood quote-tweeted me about this back in the day, encouraging her considerable following to brigade me during several Canadian unis Creative Writing scandals. Former professors of mine piled on. That entire experience happened right after Gamergate, I was having a great time on Twitter.

One last point and then I have to get back to work: I'd really, really loved Atwood's writing as a teenager, to the point I wrote fanfic of two of her books for friends. Having her take out her righteous white neoliberal rage on me broke something in me. A very nasty "never meet your heroes" indeed.

There are some people here who might feel targeted by this but this is not a subtweet. We were all very badly failed by the institutions (including Atwood's fame) preying upon us. I wish I'd had more visible or tangible solidarity, but I carry that as a lesson for how I try to act today.

I do wish more of the people who were in my DMs thanking me had supported me publicly then, or convinced their friends with more clout to do so. I felt extremely isolated and abandoned.

Anyways, it's ancient history now. (Except I'm told I can't go to certain literary events to take photos because a certain professor will be there and she asked the organizers to take me off the invite list, lmfao.)

I don't want to make light of it. This shit destroyed my attempts at going to grad school. It ruined several relationships with my old Creative Writing department which (as of this past summer) are still affecting me professionally. Arguably, this shit exacerbated my complex trauma.

Meanwhile, dozens of survivors of sexual harassment, rape, and psychological abuse in Creative Writing departments wrote me thanking me for my courage speaking publicly on my little Twitter account. The fact that Atwood saw fit to QT me to millions was proof I was very Dérangeant'e.

looking at all the basic social and familial relationships that weird paid losers are telling us they delight in using chatbots for, and — if you believe them, anyway — I guess I’d say you can forget about reading and writing, because simply interacting with human beings is going to be a niche skill

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Oh good can't wait to see the BEI's track record dealing with obviously criminal acts! ... Oh. Right.

Bolsonaro, Vucic and Orban out, Flamingo and Cockroach Revolutions, French uprising and Iberian housing movements, Nepal and Bangladesh popular insurrection, Iranian and Serbian movements, these too are heralds of the current moment. We are once again in a time of movement and revolution

I know enough about web design to say that this applies extremely well to nearly everything I have seen about AI-made websites.

NEVER BEFORE IN BRAZILIAN HISTORY A CANDIDATE THAT LOST THE FIRST ROUND WON THE ELECTIONS. IN THESE 3 WEEKS BETWEEN ROUNDS WE LEARNED THE POWER OF COMMUNITY.

IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS THE BRAZILIAN LEFT ORGANIZED ITSELF INTO AN INCREDIBLY WELL COORDINATED POPULAR MOVEMENT AGAINST THE BIG TECHS, THE ELITES, THE ORGANIZED CRIME, THE EVANGELICALS AND THE US. ALL POWERS ARE FIGHTING US AND YET WE CAME TOGETHER.

Que ótima notícia!

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Gods I'm still so extremely normal about Gillian Anderson (just caught myself in a daydream about Camp Miasma)

Gersande La Flèche@gersande.com

Watched Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma with my girlfriend and I have so so so many thoughts about this movie, it is so interesting. Can't remember the last time I saw a film and realized it was going straight into my top 5 immediately. Also wow Gillian Anderson. Wow.

The top two frames of the slop comic are pretty much the first part of how Marx explains technological innovation to work under capitalism. But it's missing the stage where once everyone is using the same technology, you end up back at 1-year development and only breaking even again.

The fact that striking Iran can be put on hold for weeks in an attempt to sway the midterms clear proof that Iran doesn’t pose an imminent danger and this war is an evil charade
